Applicable threads about this problem: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-July/032802.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-July/032889.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-August/033007.html I believe there to still be a problem with boot1/2 which *wasn't* taken care of in the committed fix. Seems to depend on the system though... A workaround is to pull the bootstraps off of a 5.2.1-RELEASE machine and use those. For those who don't have access to older straps, I've put 5.2.1-RELEASE's /boot/boot up here: http://jdc.parodius.com/freebsd_bootstraps/ You'll want to download the applicable strap and apply it such (assuming disk ad0 and slice s1): # disklabel -B -b /tmp/5.2.1-RELEASE__boot ad0s1 The boot0 strap seems to work; boot1 or boot2 seems to be the problem. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977. | On Tue, Aug 03, 2004 at 11:21:54AM -0700, Doug White wrote: > On Tue, 3 Aug 2004, Kim Culhan wrote: > > > > > Greetings- > > > > Just an fyi here..
